 It’s not enough to find some mention of findings (whether numbers or words) in someone else’s report or website, and then just report them on to us in your final project. That’s using that material as a ‘secondary’ or ‘primary’ SOURCE…. We want you to do something, some kind of ‘cooking’ and ‘cleaning’ to the data, so you can talk about something even SLIGHTLY new, something you created in this research project. Step 2, worth 25% of total unit marks. Maximum 1750 words. For this assignment you will be asked to prepare a short literature review (up to 1500 words plus references) that places their project within the context of their profession and industry, and ends with a focused field of study or research aim, and at least one research question. PLUS, you will be asked to clearly describe their research plan, including their proposed method of analysis. Your assignment will be marked on the following eight criteria, with the weighting given on the rubric (see above): Professional presentation and accuracy of work Quality and appropriateness of references, and accuracy of referencing Feasibility of project within time-frame Aim and objectives/research questions Preliminary critical literature review Organisation of the project Written communication Evidence of tutor/lecturer engagement
